Thank you for your comments, Lenny.

Halton is a village near Wendover in Bucks. This is St Michael's Church, photographed today using a Pentax KP with the Pentax DA 18-135 zoom:

There is a RAF base in Halton, and the last photo shows a couple of the many rows of military graves in the churchyard.

Just what I was thinking, but my favourite photo is number 2 for the detail in the centre of the flower.

Philip

Wonderful images - they posed well for you!

Philip

I would be happy to have taken "snaps" like these.

Thank you to Joe (redbusa99) for the great infrared photos, which has prompted me to take out my IR Pentax K-r for the first time this year. Yesterday I had a stroll by the River Colne at London Colney, where it is still quite small - only a couple of metres across - but it widens out into several lakes which I think used to be gravel pits. Here are a few shots:

1. A glimpse of the river between the foliage:


2. The road bridge over the Colne:



3. A view through one of the bridge arches:



4. The footpath along the tree-lined river bank:



5. An angler at one of the lakes:



6. An old wooden footbridge over the Colne:

I prefer all the mono images and number 1 is my choice for number 1!

Philip

Could they be cropped for a closer view?

Philip

Wonderful scenes well presented.

Wonderful photos - several of the flower shots seem almost to be in 3D!
